Pafford Emergency
Medical Services, Inc.
Membership
A membership is designed
to protect you and your family from unexpected medical
expenses. A membership is not an insurance policy or
supplement. Ambulance fees can easily exceed the amounts
provided by your insurance policy. Often insurance
companies and Medicare deny charges, thus leaving you
with the entire bill.
All medically necessary ambulance transports to
hospitals and skilled nursing facilities in your
services area.
Medical Necessity is met
when the patient’s condition is such that they could not
safely travel by other means such as private
car, taxi or wheelchair van. A physician normally
determines the medical necessity of the transport.
Medical necessity is required on all non-emergency
trips. Ambulance trips from a patient’s residence to
a physician’s office are not covered by a membership.
Most insurance policies
do not have ambulance coverage or do not pay the
entire bill. With Congress making changes to
Healthcare reform, it is a good possibility that your
Medicare claim for ambulance coverage could be denied,
thus leaving you with a large out of pocket expense. Your Pafford EMS membership will ensure
that should your
claim be denied, you will only be responsible for a
portion of the ambulance bill.
Our annual fees vary from state to state.
Please call 1-800-451-8036 ext. 217 for more information
on membership fees. Even though
you may not require our services, someone you know most
likely will. A membership is a small price to pay to
help save a life. Membership funds are used to update
equipment, train additional personnel and help keep our
service at the forefront of Emergency Healthcare.
Pafford EMS will still
provide you and those you love with quality,
compassionate care. But remember, you are responsible
for the FULL cost of an ambulance bill; even the balance
that remains after insurance has paid.
THIS MEMBERSHIP IS
NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE. THIS IS NOT AN
INSURANCE POLICY. |
